Description:

One of the main advantages of web applications is their ease of deployment. The same can't be said about desktop applications. However, desktop applications work without a network connection. While this used to be a deal breaker for web applications, recent developments in HTML 5 and browser plugins such as Flash and Silverlight allow developers to create web applications that work both online and offline. In this session, Matt will demonstrate how to create offline web applications in HTML 5, Silverlight and Air. Also, other factors for offline applications, such as client-side data storage, will be examined in detail.
